ceramic head pipe..fullsac vs jackpot
I'm looking for a ceramic head pipe and the jackpot is $578 vs the fullsac sport pipe at $279 with an exchange or $349 out right now both companies have great reps but with the exchange its a $300 price difference is the jackpot worth the extra cash?

No question the fuelmoto full Stainless pipe is a better product then Fullsac low line sport pipe but I'm not sure many builds would see much of of a performance difference or quality problems over most folks ownership. I know I got a performance gain and heat loss with my Fullsac pipe but it isn't the sport pipe.

well the jackpot is stainless steel, the fullsac is mild steel for me I prefer using stainless when it comes to exhaust, but I am sure the fullsac will last for years but not as long as stainless.

Jackpot is stainless steel with a lifetime warranty. Fullsac is mild steel without a lifetime warranty.
Attached is a picture of a 2 year old Fullsac pipe that spent its entire life in Texas.

Are you dead set on the ceramic coated version? I think the plain stainless version(which I have) is like 100$ cheaper. They are works of welding art ,it is a shame to cover them up with anything. If you plan on using the stock heat shields(which I do) the ceramic coating is pretty much a waste. The major heat reduction comes from the absence of the cat, the ceramic is only slightly cooler , Probably not even noticeable. Lifetime Warranty on both.

...and my non-ceramic 1.5 year old jackpot stainless 2-1-2 looks exactly the same as it did the day I put it on.

I went with the plain Jackpot stainless header. No heat issues once that cat is gone and you have a good tune. I don't see the need for the ceramic either. I liked the stainless, perfect welds, robust exhaust collar, and perfect placement/angle of the O2 sensors. Remember to use new OEM (Not ScreamIn eagle) gaskets when you install it.
